I'd say you would need a new video card, more ram, a new processor, and most likely a new motherboard! Heck, throw in a whole computer!

No, seriously, your computer needs an upgrade! Your HD is OK, and I'm not sure about your motherboard, but I think you should get at least 512 Ram, a processor over 2 Ghz, and definately a new video card, maybe geforce fx 5200 or ati radeon 9800? BTW whats ET?

His computer is fine you are talking out of your arse as indicated by the "What's ET" at the end.

war chicken your onboard graphics is what is killing your system, that is the primary thing you need to upgrade. After that, if your FPS is still low, get another stick of 256Mb ram to take your total to 512 and your FPS should be sorted.

i have tried to get a new vidoe card.. went with a eforce 3 ti 500 and had all garbled screen.. seen that the fan wasnt working went out and bought a new fan for the card..installed fan and card same results updated drivers etc.. same results.. got another card because i thought it was a bad card.. Got a geforce 4 ti 4600 same results.. updated the unified driver for the board too.. Nothing different.. Maybe just the board is beat..

What syphon said, you definetely need a vid card and the memory would help also. You sure you're installing it right and getting the right driver? Also make sure your video card is only agp 4x since your board only supports agp 4x (1.5v). http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7N266-VM&langs=09
